STICK-PIN.

Specification ofLetters Patent, I Patentedfl'une 27, 1911,

Applicationfiled-May 18, 1908. 1 Serial No. 433,612.

tonito, in the county of Conejos and State of Colorado, have invented certain new useful Improvements in Stick-Pins, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to an improvement in stick pins, and has for its object the pro vision of a device of this character formed with novel means whereby, when properly inserted, to engage the fabric to which it is applied and prevent accidental withdrawal or dislodgment of the pin.

More specifically the improvements consist in forming the stick pin whereby the same may be inserted to its full length when presented edgewise relative to the setting or ofiset decorative head, but when righted into normal position will be held against becoming loose or withdrawing, the withdrawal of the pinbeing accomplished by again turning the same on its edge or side when the same may be disengaged from the fabric.

A convenient embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, and the novel details of the structure will be apparent therefrom when considered in connection with the detailed description hereinafter contained.

In the drawings: Figure l is a perspective view of the pin, Fig. 2 is an edge view showing the manner of inserting the pin into the fabric, for instance a scarf, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view through the fabric showing the pin righted into its normal position and fastened against withdrawal.

Referring more specifically to the drawings wherein like reference characters designate corresponding features in the several views, A designates the shank of the pin pointed at its lower end to facilitate insertion, as usual, the upper end of the pin being bent to form a single convolution or coil B terminating at the back of the pin in a slightly projecting sharp prong C, the front of the convolution or coil being secured by solder or otherwise to the usual setting or decorative head D. The prong C is designed to penetrate the fabric which the pin engages, the same being represented at E.

Upon reference to Fig. 2 it will be seen that to fully insert the pin it is turned edgewise whereby the fabric will enter the condental withdrawal of the pin from the fabric also assisting in maintaining the pin in its righted or normal position.

To release the pin from the fabric it is simply necessary to again turn it down to its edgewise position, depress the pin a trifle to disengage the prong from the fabric, and slip the pin out as is obvious.

I claim:

1. A stick pin comprising a head, a shank extending therefrom, a retaining prong projecting from the head and spaced laterally from the shank so as to overlie the fabric when the pin is inserted therein with its head in sidewise position and thereby permit insertion of the shank for its full length, said prong being fashioned to engage the fabric and prevent withdrawal of the shank when the head is shifted laterally to right the same.

2. A stick pin comprising a head, a shank extending therefrom, and a curved prong projecting from the head in a direction opposite to the point of the shank and spaced from the shank so as to permit its insertion in the fabric for the full length thereof when the head is in sidewise position, the point of said prong being positioned below the upper end of the shank and adapted to engage the fabric when the head of the pin is righted.

3. A stick pin provided with means enabling its full insertion in the fabric when in edgewise position and preventing Withdrawal of the same when in its righted or normal position, consisting of a convolution formed on the pin terminating in a prong, said prong projecting slightly beyond the back of the pin, and the convolution carrying the setting or decorative head.

4. A stick pin provided with a shank having a portion thereof bent to form a convolution presenting a prong projecting in a direction opposite to the point of the shank, said prong being positioned below the upper end of the shank.

5. A stick pin provided with a shank having its upper end bent to form a convolution presenting a prong projecting in a direction opposite the point of the shank, said prong being positioned at one side of the shank the shank relatively to the head whereby when the pin is inserted in a fabric with its head in sidewise position, the prong will lie in a plane above the fabric, said prong being formed to engage the fabric when the head is shifted laterally to right the same. In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
